Vacuum-injection molding of glass-metal electrical components

Conference ·
OSTI ID:6198138
Vacuum-injection molding is an innovative processing technique, useful in the fabrication of complex glass or glass-ceramic to metal seals. During vacuum-injection molding, molten glass is injected under pressure into the metal parts held in a mold while a vacuum is simultaneously pulled on the opposite side of the mold. The process, which is completed at low processing temperatures, improves glass flow, facilitates the removal of trapped gasses, and makes possible the fabrication of seals of complex geometry. These advantages with examples are presented. 10 figures.
